Our first dental project I. - videos, books, apps

As we have visited the dentist with E. I looked up some videos, book and apps on dental health beforehand. This post is an appetiser before I share with you some real fun dental health activities.

English videos

Brush, brush, brush by KidsTV123

Brush your Teeth by Busy Beaver

The VERY favourite one!!!! Brush your teeth by Topsi Smile TV

Brush your teeth by StoryBots (we just couldn't leave this out :) )

A Peppa pig episode: Peppa and the Dentist

Two videos in Hungarian:

Fogmosó dal by Kerekmese

Bori a fogorvosnál (11 minute short story about what happens at the dentist's)

Now the books we've been reading about teeth and going to the dentist:

Here is a video in which a lady reads out Show me your smile. The quality is not the best but it gives you an idea.

Another book we are looking at is Izgő-mozgó fogaim published by Manó könyvek.

It's a great book with flaps to open, teeth to move and learn a lot about teeth, like parts of a tooth, baby teeth vs permanent teeth, how teeth grow, when and why they fall out, what happens at the dentist etc. It also has some interactive pages where you can pull a tooth out or glue a picture of yourself with no, one or 20 teeth. The book goes with a little tooth box for the first fallen-out teeth.

I read this book to E. both in English and Hungarian.

This is the book she took with her when we visited the dentist:

Doctor Kids by Budabu

It's not just about teeth but all kinds of health problems (broken bones, rash, fever, weak eyes etc). The player needs to heal the kids by taking them to the right department.

E.'s favourite is the dental department where one has to remove plaque, clean the teeth with a brush, drill them and kill germs, plus, at the end the player can choose coloured braces as well. E.'s favourite  part is killing the germs in the mouth. The other departments also means a lot a fun. You can take X-ray photos of broken bones, or you can injections or examine blood in a laboratory.

Kids Doctor Game by Abuzz

Just like the previous one you need to heal children with all kinds of health problems. Still, this also has a dental department. This game is a little bit more disgusting for me - not for E. (the germs has to be pulled out of the ear or off the teeth and they are not as funny looking as in the other game). What E. likes the most in this game is when you heal a child, funny animal balloons are floating down from the top that you can pop.

We've tried some other games too, but either E. didn't like it or they were a little scary/disgusting for a 3-year-old.

I hope you could find some ideas to watch, read or play with your kid. Let me know if you could add any more to this list. Thanks for popping in.
